Who's better off with Shinichi? Haibara Ai or Ran??

Okay, so can you tell me what Ayumi and Conan have in common? Hardly anything. Ran understands Shinichi very well my friend. There have been many instances to that throughout the manga and anime series. Shinichi and Ran care about each other, they LIKE each other! No matter what we talk here, Gosho has made them a couple, whether they are compatible or on, similarities or no, and I have no objection to that. Haibara has shown many a times that she might have a crush on Shinichi, but she wouldn't want things to move forward. She knows very well that Ran and Shinichi like each other and that she can't do anything about it. Shinichi respects her as a good friend, so he wouldn't be thinking of settling with her. Even if they do, they are two mature individuals and will find many topics to talk about, other than Holmes and Scientific stuff. But anyway, Haibara doesn't want to come in-between Shinichi and Ran, so, we can just leave her for now. Ayumi- she likes Conan, Haibara knows that and has hinted it to Conan numerous times. So far, Conan hasn't shown any sort of attraction towards her because he already has Ran in his head. If Ran dies in the end, then I don't think he'll be able to get over it because in the series, he is always clear that Ran's life is more important than his. If that ever happens, then he might stay single or be with Haibara or Ayumi. But, Haibara is a more likely option. Gosho has promised us a happy ending, so I doubt that Shinichi or Ran will die. AyumiXConan is not a bad couple, it's just that Conan doesn't seem to have any sort of feelings for her yet. So, we can't argue about them being a couple until he shows some positive signs. I wouldn't stop you from day-dreaming about them being together, but don't keep your hopes too high because Gosho has decided that Shinichi will be with Ran, whether you like it or not, whether they have similarities or not. Shinichi likes Ran's nature and so he likes her, he thinks she is the ideal woman. That's how his character is, we can't help it.
Same here...
Ayumi and Conan both are into soccer.
They have the same morals.
They want to be detectives.
They both do what they can to protect their loved ones and even strangers.
They both want a spotlight.
They both are observant.
Ayumi is seemingly an only child just as Conan is.
There. And those are just the ones I can think of at the moment.
What does she understand? That he likes to be a detective? His habits? She doesn't get his thought process, she just knows the outcomes. She just knows shallow things. If she knew him more then she would be able to come to a logical conclusion as to why he may be away on a "case" and why it's taking him so long. If you love somebody you usually know what they're thinking. Once again, it's one of those things where they grew up together, everybody expects for them to be together, and then years later at reunion they broke up and are married with different people as their husband/wife. Gosho is a master as surprise, remember. He can easily switch the story around and end it with somebody else. Haibara has never shown that she has a crush on him. It is assumed and interpreted that way by AiCon fans. I can see why they think that but there are easily other explanations as to her behavior and thoughts. Haibara, to me, only considers him to be a friend- somebody that she can rely on for once in her life. They probably wouldn't care to talk about anything besides the DB. They don't have much in common at all. The most I can see them talking about is arguing over their soccer teams. Yes, Conan has shown attraction to her. It just goes unnoticed because everybody is always arguing "AICON!" or "SHINRAN!" so they don't care to think about the third party that is most definitely a suitable option. He has grabbed her hand, grabbed her shoulders, called her name WITHOUT AN HONORIFIC, begged for her to be okay, and overreacted by slamming a helmet hard into a guy's head. Usually Conan would be able to logically find his way to a conclusion while somebody is in danger. but he was so worried about Ayumi in episode 12... well he didn't really think about anything besides saving her. So yes. He has shown attraction. Conan would probably eventually get over Ran's death. There are plenty of widows who have started dating before- people who were married for 3 years or so. He could get over it in time. And by that time Ayumi would be grown up and ready for a committed relationship. I doubt Haibara as a likely option with her relationship with Mitsuhiko going on as well. Okay, so a happy ending means the option of Shinichi and Conan separating would be open and probably the best choice. As I just said above, Conan has shown feelings for her- everybody was too preoccupied with the other couples to notice. I doubt Gosho will just set Ayumi up for destruction. A happy ending means that the nobody will be left heartbroken. Which includes Ayumi-chan. It is not "whether I like it or not" because he has not ended it yet. You can't say that just yet. And I once again say "REUNION!!!!!! THEORY!!!!!" XD

First of all... I wonder y i can't vote...
- I think it's Ran because they are childhood friends and childhood friends mostly end up as partners... (just like Heiji and Kazuha) Also, I think that Haibara has her own partner...

Okay Ayumi wants to be a detective.... so? She doesn't understand what Conan's thinking either! Just because they have a similarities, it doesn't mean that she can understand his thinking process completely! And, Ran understands his emotions way better than Ayumi. She knows when he's in trouble, when he's in deep thought. The chemistry between Shinichi and Ran is more deep, more known. Whereas, Ayumi and Conan were never a pair. They have never been potrayed as a couple. Ayumi has feelings for him, but so far he doesn't. I know Gosho can throw tricks, but that is during a case. Since the very beginning, Shinichi and Ran have been together, so I don't think he'll do such a trick that will get them paired with someone else. The chances of that happening are too small.
You say that Haibara might not have feelings for Conan and it is just made my the AiCon fans, agreed, but she does throw hints at times. I am not an AiCon fan so I don't know much about that pairing. I be happier to see her with Mitsuhiko.
Grabbing someone's shoulder, worrying about someone's safety ,calling someone without an Honorific are not signs of attraction according to me. I'd rather take it as a brotherly feeeling towards her. I have always thought that Conan respects Ayumi and Haibara as his sisters. You claim that the 3rd party is more suitable? Well, I don't agree. Ran dying might change his mind, but I still don't feel great about Ayumi being with Conan just like how you can't imagine Haibara or Ran with Conan. Separating Conan and Shinichi as two different people is not very REALISTIC but very CREATIVE. So far, DC has been very realistic, I don't think Gosho would make a climax so contrasting as to make in unreal. This is my opinion. Ayumi is just a little girl, who Conan cares about..... but he is not ATTRACTED to her so far. So, I think it'll be best if you stick to your opinions and I'll stick to mine. I'll stick to ShinRan and you can go on with Ayumi and Conan. But, let me tell you one think, the chances seem to be very dim. I'm not against them, I just don't seem to understand how it's gonna happen. Anyway, this thread is about Ran or Haibara...... so I think we should get back to them.

Haha Shinichi is going to end up with Ran.
Unless Ran dies. Which isn't possible. BUT I do have to agree that Ayumi is best ending up with Conan :V
It is not that I think Conan will end up with Ayumi, or Ran will not end up with Shinichi. I just feel that this is the best outcome. Ran should just find someone else that wouldn't make her cry all the time. I don't know why, but I find Ayumi much more brave and courageous than Ran. She would grow up into a much more loveable and mature and confident girl than Ran is. Shinichi doesn't really have a proper childhood like haibara. That's why I will fully support him growing up again with Ayumi and learn and fix all the problems with his personality. Just like how I would want for haibara to grow up again with my mitsu chan. If Haibara ended up with Conan and with their personalities, I'm afraid they might raise a twisted child if ever they have any... Family warmth is so important...
But best is still different from want. I dunno, just that the shinran scenes had moved my heart quite a number of times and so I support ShinRan.
She can understand better than Ran can. XD She can see things from his point of view that Ran can't. She understands why he likes being a detective. She knows the feeling. Ran doesn't. I don't think Ran understands one thing about him. ^^' All she really understands is that Shinichi wants to be a detective and that solving cases means a lot to him. That's as far as those thoughts go. Chemistry? What chemistry? XD
And we cannot determine that Conan doesn't have feelings for her. You cannot say that he does not have feelings for her. He has showed many signs. Look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T9mZOOy1NI
So no, we can't say he doesn't like her just off the bat. Unless he openly says to Ayumi's face "No, I do not like you" then that cannot be said. XD
The chances are not small. Once again, Gosho is a master of surprise. It's not very uncommon for the couple everybody expects to be together in an anime to not end up together in the end. (I've seen people complain and whine and throw their arms everywhere several times about an anime while reading comments on mixed anime AMV's.)
They really are signs of attention- and calling to somebody by their first name without an honorific in Japan means that the person is very VERY close to you. It should NOT be taken lightly.... and yes. You'd RATHER take it as brotherly feelings because you don't like the couple. XD It's natural, though.
... Dude. He chased after a man in a black suit after just solving a murder that took place on a RIDE in an AMUSEMENT PARK and he was fed a drug- not killed instantly- FED A DRUG and was TURNED INTO A KID. Separating them, while unrealistic, is very likely.
I think that Conan does have romantic feelings towards her. Look at it from Gosho's perspective. If she didn't have a chance then why in the world would he continue to place these moments in there for them?
The chances are not very dim- at all. Separating Shinichi and Conan is the only way to REALLY give everybody a happy ending- and you know how Gosho loves his happy endings.

@IHKF Wow, you are certainly tenacious when it comes to defending AyuCon. Everywhere I go, you are either bashing on Ran (Haibara even) or stating your case behind the slightest possibility that Conan and Ayumi will be together in the end. It just makes me wonder: do you ever get tired of repeating the same thing over and over again, even though the majority of the DC population thinks otherwise?
I don't bash. If I were bashing...
Then I'd be saying things like "She's stupid. She's ugly. Oh she's a *Bleep*". XD (Look at people bash Kagome and/or Kikyo from Inuyasha sometime. THAT is BASHING. XD) I'm stating flaws in their character and as to why they really shouldn't have as big a fan-base as they do.
Yes. I do get tired of it. Because people don't understand. They don't really see what I'm saying although I try and explain it the best I can, so yes. It does get annoying. I don't know whether or not I'm just not explaining it well enough or what. I've said it many different ways so it's not like I'm saying the EXACT same thing over and over again. :???:
And I'm not the only person to speak like this anyways. Nobody bats an eyelash if it's somebody talking like that about a minor character but when somebody speaks like I am about a protagonist have mercy on their soul. LOL xD
Look, from where I'm standing, every couple has pros and cons and to me, AyuCon has more pros.
I'm pointing out flaws that nobody really notices that don't apply to AyuCon- thus stating an argument for it. XD
I don't mean to sound harsh- and I'm trying to get better at it. That's what counts, right?

The fact that they have flaws is WHY they have a big fanbase. Perfect characters are boring and 2-dimensional. I think, despite her flaws, Ran is still too much of a mary-sue type character and among other things, like lack of development, is the reason why I dislike her. I like Haibara because she actually has developed (but has ceased in recent chapters, but I hope that will change with more BO arcs and exposure). Yes, she has flaws, but that is what makes her interesting as a character.
No relationship is perfect, all relationships need work. And again things that are not perfect make a more interesting story. It also makes it more realistic.
Not to mention flaws make characters more identifiable, because lets face it, the world isn't perfect, nor are relationships nor are people. Perfect situations are generally unbelievable.
I'm sorry, I meant LACK of flaws. XD lol
Haibara has flaws- but not the kind that make you go "Hey she's really realistic". They're more like "Okay... that was silly. Don't do that. XD" kinds of flaws.
Ran yes, is more of a Mary-Sue character and I don't favor her very much at all. And as I've said before the stoic character and the over-exaggerated strength-wise girlfriend are both overused to the point where it shocks me they have much of a fan-base. XD
That's one of the reasons why I don't like them with Shinichi. It just feels like the author is pushing them together even though they don't fit. ^^'
Every relationship does have flaws- but when there are too many it just makes the relationship unrealistic and impossible. When you have a flaw or two with a couple that has a lot of positives on their side it makes the couple interesting! ^^
Haibara has some of the most realistic flaws in the whole of DC. She is also possibly the most flawed character because of what she went through. Her cynicism, general mistrust of people (to the point where she won't tell people what she's planning), her dark history (which affects her in a negative way, especially since she is probably emotionally destroyed having her entire family killed by the BO (this is linked with my last listing as well)), her lack of a proper childhood, and lets not forget her locking away of almost all real emotion. The only thing that makes her not flawed is her intelligence. She doesn't have any great abilities physically, and her "BO sense" has been called into question several times. Her knowledge of the BO is linked with her criminal activities (oh yeah, that should also probably be counted as a flaw, she is technically a criminal).
And I also said that Ran was a cookie cutout character. Almost all of them are. Haibara is too, though she at least developed some for a while, but her character archetype is pretty well known and often used. Shinichi, Mitsu, Genta, Ayumi, Sonoko... all are cookie cutout characters. Chek even noted that for Ayumi, and it is true. Gosho is using WELL ESTABLISHED character archetypes and not developing them. That has been my biggest contention with this series for a long time.
Yes, the not trusting people is the "That was silly, don't do that XD" flaw I was referring too. XD Her dark past does not count as a flaw- we all have things we regret doing and she was forced. And locking away emotions is what makes a stoic character- which is not really all that realistic. XD
She was forced into doing what she did and did not do it of her own accord- which is what would make it a flaw. "It's always the quiet ones"- Slade from Teen Titans to Raven when she revealed her secret dark past. Raven was the stoic character. XD The fact that she had a dark past makes her even closer to what she is titled.
Some characters are less cut-outs than others. If Ayumi was exactly what she was a "cut out" of then she would have an older brother whom she calls "Nee Nee" and she follows around all of the time, she would be easier to entertain and she would make sex jokes even though she doesn't mean to. XD Kazuha would live right next door to Heiji and have a special promise that they made in some special place. Genta... no. No. He's a cut-out character. He definitely is. XD Just a less common one.
Mitsuhiko would wear glasses, be easily irritated, have his nose in a book way more often than he does, he would also be less than interested in girls. Heiji would constantly be challenging Shinichi to a deduction match and not work with him, he would also be guessing cup sizes and hitting on the ladies. LOL
So not everybody is a picture perfect cut out. Haibara and Ran are probably the closest to cut-outs there are except for Shinichi and Sonoko. XD Funny how the minor characters are closer to being realistic than the main ones...
This is a pointless debate... Just wondering... How is not trusting people "That's silly, don't do that" flaw? I'm sorry, but I don't think you've ever been stabbed in the back. Her past has given her no reason to trust anyone at any point. And there are *plenty* of people whom have locked away their emotions for one reason or another, and it is usually trauma... You know like being forced to make a drug to murder, and finding out that your entire family is gone most likely due to murder. (Ok, I haven't known anyone with that exact situation, but one of my oldest friend's parents met an untimely end in a traffic accident. I saw him after I graduated HS (he moved away to live with his god parents). He locked away almost all emotion, his godparents told me that he may never have real emotions again because facing the pain of losing his parents like that might send him over the edge.) So it isn't stoicism, and there are plenty of cases like that.
I'm not going into the rest. It was a mistake coming into this thread again. Think what you will. But 90% of the characters in DC are cookie-cutout characters, that includes the DBoys and the MPD. In fact I can't think of any character in DC, at this moment, that I haven't seen at least a few times elsewhere. It is why I hate DC. I've said this before, but the only reason I'm still here is the community and the hope that I will one day see the resolution of the BO (and a few of the mysteries).
No debate is ever pointless unless it goes nowhere.
It's a flaw that could easily be fixed- one major even t could trigger that flaw to go away. It isn't a flaw that will always be with her- it will slowly disappear over time. The flaws I'm talking about flaws that a person can hide but can't change. A person who is irritable can work on that issue but they will always have it. Those kinds.
And those people ted to get help or start creeping down a dark path with drugs or alcohol. Most people won't just hide their feelings.
When you have somebody who hides their feelings and acts the way she does, then yes. That is a big part of stoicism. People recognize a stoic character MAINLY by their lack of emotion. A deep sadness and mystery of what they're feeling is the real pull of a stoic character.
Yes they are cut-outs but to a far lesser degree than what you're implying. XD The BO are also the stereotypical bad guys. (Dark colors, fangs, evil glares, guns, mystery of the boss... yeah.) DC is just not your kind of show then, is it? XD lol
I personally had fun debating (I like it to debate when it comes to anime, what? That's one of MY flaws. )with you but if this is how the debate ends so be it. :grin:
DC is just not your kind of show then, is it?
Just quickly... If that is your definition of a pointless debate, then yes, this is a pointless debate, since neither side will make a concession or cede the point.
In regards to what I quoted... nope. I like development. The mysteries is what kept me going for so long and the overall community. I have thought about dropping DC several times in lieu of just sticking to literary mystery. But for now I'm still here.
Well I meant that they just kept going in circles arguing the exact same point over and over again.
"Hot dogs are better!"
"No, Hamburgers!"
"Hot dogs!"
"Hamburgers!"
That kind. XD
Oh yes, development. I love development too. :grin: (More specifically character development.)
Which is why Ran annoys me more than Haibara. =w=
I hope you don't leave here even if you do drop DC! D:
That is an argument, not a debate.
My point was saying the same thing over and over again (argument-wise) and getting no-where. Just going in circles. XD
It's not that people don't understand what you're saying; it's the fact that you have an opinion, and they have an opinion, so it's a matter of perception. I, for one, do not agree with most of your arguments about AyuCon, but that doesn't mean I didn't understand where you're coming from. I just wanted to inform that you have shed your light on DCW about your AyuCon preference several times enough, and you can't convince everyone no matter how much effort you put into it (especially since the subject is about pairings and is generally opinion-based). Though, I admire your tenacity.
Well, I think this discussion has been off-topic long enough. But someone should definitely make a "character development" thread because I have much to say about that. *cough* kyuu *cough*
In attempt to bring this discussion back OT, I would like to say, Ran, her horn, and her cookie-cutter characterization for the win!

I have thought about dropping DC several times in lieu of just sticking to literary mystery. But for now I'm still here.
Just do what I do, drop the anime and manga but check back in on the rare occasion something good happens, works for me
When you debate about anything you are debating to change another person's opinion. Obviously what I am saying is failing to do that. *Sighs*
I don't even want people to be AyuCon- I just want for it to be on the same level as AiCon- taken like that. That's why I still present my argument time and time again. Not to persuade people to be AyuCon, but to look at them as an equally opposing couple to whatever Conan or Haibara couple they support. *Shrugs*
That character development thread would become a personal favorite of mine- I'm sure.
Why must I always make the threads...? -sigh-
Fine... I'll get on it... But it will be bear bones starting off... I have scattered all my posts about character development all over DCW and DCTP... And I am not retyping all of that material. ><
Good luck. XD

I don't think that Haibara/Shiho likes Shinichi.She just admires him because he's been protecting her n stuff.
Ran really loves Shinichi.
I'd be inclined to disagree with that but I agree with what you said about Haibara.
I don't think Ran loves him. I think it's just a crush. They are only teenagers, first of all, second of all... oh I had my argument for this somewhere... now where did it go? XD

Posted 2016-05-23 ; filed under ConnectedEnterprise, Management, Work.
Now is the time for a serious rethinking of how we organize in our society: from businesses, to schools, and as communities. We need to base all of our organizations on the principle of temporary, negotiated hierarchies. In this way, citizens can freely cooperate and from time to time, as required, collaborate to get things done. This requires a new approach to organizing work, abolishing the separation of employer & employee, as well as the artificial and unequal division between labour and financial capital. Simultaneously, our educational systems need to phase out teachers and curriculum and focus on everyone becoming a better learner.
Top down leadership, including teaching, is no longer necessary in the network era. As Donald Clark notes, "We have fetishised 'Leadership', we're all leaders now, rendering the word meaningless". I have noted before that smart cities need smart citizens. The smart citizen is connected: to communities of practice, extended social networks, the community, and society. In the network era rigid hierarchies are counter-productive, as they shut off opportunities for serendipity and innovation, which is why self-organization must be the basis of new organizational models. The market era is ending. The emerging network era needs new operating principles. Now is the time to create these.
Rana Foroohar: "Even though all these things we've discussed seem really big and weighty, and they make you a little tired, and a little depressed, I would just say market capitalism is not a system that was handed down in perfect form from the heavens on stone tablets.


Yahoo, 8 player keeper league.
I'm leaning towards Mallex Smith? Is it worth holding on to Gary Sanchez? Danny Jansen worth a flyer?
Carlos Martinez injury concerns too great? Wheeler for real?
I've contemplated trading Kershaw and not feeling Segura 100%.
I'd go Javy, Segura, Marwin, Anderson, Sanchez, Severino and Flaherty. Not a fan of any of the other pitchers outside of maybe Clevinger.

Thanks for the input. Hmmm...Anderson I hadn't given him a lot of thought but he was a nice surprise last year and I do love inf/of flexibility. I'm in Toronto and I've also been thinking I can get someone to overpay for Jansen. Thanks again for the input.

Abstract: Millet grains of cultivars Ashana and Dembi were germinated for 6 days to obtain 6 day-old millet malt. Millet malt was added at a concentration of 5% to the flour. The mixtures were fermented for 14 h. Phytic acid, polyphenols and minerals content and HCl extractability were assayed every 2 h for all treatments. The results revealed that phytate and polyphenols contents were significantly reduced with fermentation time with a concomitant decrease in the pH of the media. Further decrease was observed when the 14 h fermented sample was cooked. For both cultivars major minerals content and extractability were significantly (p#0.05) improved as a result of malt pretreatment and further improvement was observed after cooking of 14 h fermented sample. Trace minerals of both cultivars were slightly increased in content and availability compared to major ones. Results revealed that addition of malt followed by fermentation greatly increased the availability (extractability) of minerals and in some cases it exceeded 100%.

Naylor to help United Nations end food insecurity
Wed, 11/20/2019 - 15:04 admin1
Patti Naylor, an organic farmer from Churdan, was expected to be at the University of Maryland today and Friday to participate in the United Nations Committee on World Food Security (CFS) Regional Consultation for North America on the Voluntary Guidelines on Food Systems and Nutrition.
The process comes at a time when malnutrition and food insecurity are increasing around the world.
"The number of people around the world, including in the United States, who suffer from malnutrition — which can mean not enough food as well as too much unhealthy food — is staggering," Naylor said recently in a statement. "We must focus on human rights, food sovereignty and agroecology as the clear path to addressing this critical issue."
Participants will come from the national governments of Canada and the United States, several UN agencies, civil society organizations, private sector associations, agricultural research systems and academic institutions.
The process is repeated in six regions of the world, according to Naylor, to get comments and suggestions on draft guidelines and to ensure regional and national priorities and needs are reflected.
The resulting voluntary guidelines will be a reference document that provides guidance to governments on appropriate policies, investments and institutional arrangements needed to address the key causes of malnutrition in all forms.
Naylor will represent civil society as a member of National Family Farm Coalition and Family Farm Defenders, both of which are member organizations of La Via Campesina, an international movement that brings together millions of peasants, farmers and rural people.
It's estimated that 821 million people throughout the world go to bed hungry every night, and more than half a billion are obese.
In addition, more than 150 million children suffer from stunting.
In preparation for the consultation event, Naylor attended the Committee on World Food Security annual meeting at the Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome in October.
There, she spoke on behalf of civil society at the CFS Plenary on the UN Decade of Family Farming, emphasizing the need to transform our agriculture system to one in which family farmers provide the means to end hunger.

Inboxr is the first Chatbot and automation tool for both Facebook Messenger and Twitter.
What's so special about Inboxr?
It's a full suite for all kinds of automated (inter)action and engagement by using bots the smart way.
So what are those features?
You can instantly message or schedule your message to people who have engaged with you before via comments, subscribed to your FB Messenger list, or are your Fans/Followers (old and new).
You can even select a certain group based upon subscription date.
Of course you can create any message type you want (text, image, video post, etc.).
Just like any email autoresponder, you can create automated sequences of messages for new subscribers. A great way to build sales funnels or messages series to keep engaged with your audience.
The vendor calls this "if this then that" messages. Now, you will use a defined keyword (phrase) to trigger a chatbot when a visitor comments on your Posts (including boosted Posts or FB ads).
Inboxr allows you to grab each users Facebook email addresses without the user even having to type it. To get the email addresses, a new lead simply has to reply on your post.
So, for example, to get access to your offer, coupon/discount, or free information, you ask your Fanpage visitors to reply inside your post with 'yes' or a trigger word, and Inboxr automatically grabs the users email and adds it to your favorite Email Autoresponder.
Very easy to use dashboard/interface. Set and forget system.
Analytic Campaign Manager. Track your results, opt-ins, find out which bots are working the best, and analyze when people drop off.
Unlimited Fan Pages and bot messages.
Training Video Series & 24/7 support.
100% approved Facebook technology and SAAS. No risk of FB account getting banned.
[Optional] as first upgrade you can access to DFY Chat Bots where you can get access to Luke's highest performing bot Templates. These are DFY 1-click install chatbots for all kinds of (marketing) purposes. Either for using yourself or to install on behalf of your clients (and charge any fee you want).
Read my review about SegMateApp to compare these first 3 well-known apps.
However, Inboxr lacks some advanced features as payment integration, A/B split testing, Live Chat, Button creator, Overlay widgets, Form and User input, Tags/Custom Fields, Zapier integration.
That said… Inboxr has a low one-time lifetime price for unlimited messages and unlimited FB accounts. If you compare that with the other solutions. They come all with monthly recurring fees and higher pricing/fee schedules the more accounts you are using and messages you'll send out.
And Inboxr is the only app where you can also use the chatbots for Twitter.
This app is brand new and I played a little with the app, but I had no time to test all features.
But on first sight, the app does what it supposes to do and is very easy to use and less complex in comparison to the above mentioned (higher priced and more advanced) alternatives.
I found no major shortcomings so far.
So, especially if you are starting with FB Messenger bots for the first time, Inboxr is a great application to start with and try it out.
And probably most of you don't need all the extra features as in the mentioned other advanced apps.
Why should you buy Inboxr?
Because Inboxr is the perfect app for using chatbots and automation for Facebook Messenger and Twitter that allows you to easily broadcast and schedule messages, drip feed content, auto reply to comments, set up "if this than do" messages, create chat bots, and build your email list at the same time. All from one simple to use dashboard that anyone can use without any technical experience (or JSON technology knowledge).
And if you are lucky and it's still active, you can use Coupon Code "bot2" to get $2.00 off.
After the launch end, you'll probably have to pay monthly fees. Plus you won't get access to all 5 extra bonuses (see sales page).
So, don't wait too long because this offer will end soon.
The offer has a 14 day refund policy with double your money back guarantee if you don't get ANY results after 60 days of working with Luke and the team personally.
As first upsell, you can get access to DFY Chat Bots ($37.00) where you can get access to Luke's highest performing bot Templates. These are DFY 1-click install chatbots for all kinds of (marketing) purposes. Either for using yourself or to install on behalf of your clients (and charge any fee you want).
As second upsell, you can get access to Inboxr VIP Training ($27.00-$37.00). This is a walk-through video series created by Luke Maguire where he shows you every step to get the maximum out of Inboxr, from how to set up your FB accounts, get leads, and set up your bots for the best results.
As third and final upsell, you can get the Inboxr Whitelabel & Resell Licence ($197.00). Now you'll get 20 extra licenses that you can use to sell directly to your clients or offer as services all under your own brand name and charging any price/fee you want.
This is the perfect offer if you have local clients who definitely need your app to automate their FB Messenger (and Twitter) accounts via chat bots.
First, you'll get these 16 bonuses.
And for each product in the funnel you'll buy, you can you can select 1 product for free on GeorgesDeals.com.
With one exception. If you'll buy upsell 3 (the White Label License), you can you can even select 3 products for free on GeorgesDeals.com (if you want to buy this upsell more than once, you can stack your bonuses, and can choose 3 products for each White Label License purchase).
Finally, you get 70 bonus points (and additional 70/70/200 for buying upsell 1/2/3) which you can change for great WP Plugins, Courses and other information products on Select Your Bonus.
Check out my review about Funnel Messenger. This comes also with a one-time lifetime pricing.

The Global Liquidity Glut May Be Coming to an End but Art Prices Aren't the Indicator
November 20, 2017 by Marion Maneker
British economics writer Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is worried that the debt cycle is about to turn as inflationary pressures finally hit the US market. A rise in interest rates could set off a cycle of risk feedback loop in the debt markets that might cause another global financial crisis due to a liquidity mismatch. In other words, when the squeeze comes, everyone is going to sell their shares in debt funds. The funds, in turn, will not be able to sell the bonds the funds own as quickly as the investors want their cash causing those bonds to crash in value.
It's legitimate concern. Unfortunately, Evans-Pritchard tries to spice up his lead with some hand-waving about Bitcoin after some silly nonsense about the art market.
What is striking about the Christie's soiree in New York last week was not so much the $450m paid for his rediscovered Salvator Mundi but the prices fetched by everyone else. Buyers forked out $46m for vermilion spirals from the Bacchus series by Cy Twombly, executed 12 years ago with a paint-drenched brush on a pole. Soothing sands called Saffron by Mark Rothko fetched $32m. The week's haul at Christie's and Sotheby's topped $1.5bn, with Asian buyers snapping up Monets. Fernand Leger's abstract Contrastes de Formes fetched $62m.
It screams late-cycle liquidity, recalling Japan's impressionist fever in the late Eighties before the Nikkei collapsed and the bottom fell out of the art market.
Actually, it doesn't. The worst excesses of art prices—the Leonardo notwithstanding—are behind us. As a measure of excess liquidity, the art sales of 2013-2015 were the comparables to Japan's Impressionist buying binge which peaked in May 1990. What followed was the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait which set off a global recessionary shock that burst the Japanese bubble.

Speaking of Women's Rights: Personal, political, social.
I blog for Legal Voice. I help maintain our Facebook page, our Flickr account, and our website. And I use social networking sites on my personal time, too. It gets confusing – personal and professional interests tend to overlap, but it still feels like there should be boundaries in between.
I guess, as part of a movement that's always told me the personal is political, I shouldn't expect to draw clear lines between all the ideas and modes of communication that compete for my attention. But I'm curious – how are people handling the ways that social networking sites are dividing and multiplying the conversation about women's rights?
Example I came across this week: a post on the New York Times' Motherlode blog where a young, pregnant woman asks for advice and the blogger turns her question over to the readers.
2. New twist on traditional advice columns. The young woman wrote her very personal question to an "expert on the issues," who shared the request with a large public audience. We could loosely apply a neologism for this phenomenon of harnessing the skills & knowledge of the masses: crowdsourcing.
3. Blog comments as public forum. The internet, to put it mildly, facilitates group discussions – there were over 25 pages of replies. But "young, single and pregnant – what now?" is a question women have grappled with for as long as we've had choices about when, whether and how to have kids. This is another iteration of a debate that's been going on for decades – amplified by new technology.
What do you see going on here? Is social networking helping us break new ground in the women's movement, or are we talking in circles?

Iraq says Iran notified it of missile attack shortly after it began
By John Bowden - 01/08/20 08:25 AM EST
The office of Iraq's prime minister on Wednesday said that it was informed by Iran of attacks on multiple Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops just after the strikes had begun and that it was told the strikes would only be at locations where the U.S. military was present.
Adel Abdul-Mahdi's office told The Associated Press in a statement that Iran's notice of the attacks made in response to the killing of a top Iranian official came at the same time as a warning from U.S. forces that multiple bases were under missile fire from Iranian forces.
Abdul-Mahdi's office added that while Iraq "refuses any violation of its sovereignty and any attacks on its territory," his government would do all it could to prevent a "devastating all-out war."
No Iraqi or U.S. casualties have yet been reported following the missile strikes, which came as retaliation for the slaying of Qassem Soleimani, head of Iran's Quds Force, in a U.S. airstrike outside the Baghdad International Airport just days ago. Soleimani was in the country at the time for a meeting with Abdul-Mahdi.
A U.S. official told USA Today on Wednesday that U.S. forces were able to reach cover before the attacks hit thanks to an unspecified advance warning of the missile strikes.
"The early warning system worked," said the unnamed official.

Tamilnadu cadre IPS N Harish ended his life in his own hands. He was reported to be depressed for last few months. His wedding was due for next months. Incidentally, he belonged to the same batch as the IAS D.K.Ravi, whose suicide made the headlines a year back.
Being an IAS or IPS is more than the job aspiration for millions of Indians. It's a dream divine. One feels as if this gets fulfilled, no other aspiration remains. Feeling of all accomplishment!
The recent suicides burst the myth and exposes the inadequacy of career aspirations of millions. In the indefinite rat race, one fails to realize the ultimate goal of life…….its not being an IAS or IPS. Its happiness and the feeling of fulfillment which matters above all.
Embossed in a moment of flare, one ends his life, forgetting the life long struggle he made to achieve this stage and the million who failed behind them.
Next story The Power of Silence !!….


Consider that the cleavage between your light and dark is not insurmountable..
The blending of both, in this dual reality does not reflect the loss of oneness. It reflects the wholeness of you. You are truly all that is. The duality speaks to the separateness in your humanity. We are one. The collective consciousness evolves as one. When the duality merges, bringing your dark into light, your oneness solidifies. We know you see glimpses of this. You know your truths. Allow the oneness. Allow the real you to step forward.

Östersjöfestivalen - blues with Mick Clarke
på Karlshamns torg
www.ostersjofestivalen.se
Blues concert on Karlshamn's square.
British blues rock guitarist Mick Clarke will headline the Karlshamn Baltic Festival Blues Night on Friday 19 July 2019.
Mick has become an established name on the international touring scene and has played regularly in Europe, Asia and the USA. Praised for his fiery "straight from the wood" guitar and slide sound, Mick is the winner of the 2014 Artist Aloud Awards "Best International Act" and has appeared recently on festivals all over Europe, including last year's Sweden Rock Festival, as well as events as far apart as Bosnia-Herzegovina and India. His new album "Steppin' Out" was released in January 2019.
Mick began his career with Killing Floor part of the British blues boom of the late 60s, contemporaries of Free, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. The band backed Texas blues guitar star Freddie King and toured with legends Howlin' Wolf and Otis Spann. Two albums were released - the first, "Killing Floor" is one of Classic Rock Magazine's "20 greatest British blues albums 1967-1970".
The Mick Clarke Band originally started working around the London area in the early 80s, but quickly received offers of work from mainland Europe and the United States. The Southern California Blues Society called him "One of the finest blues players to come out of England". Mick has since released twenty solo albums.
At Karlshamn Mick will feature his regular line-up of CHRIS SHARLEY on drums (ex Sassafrass) Eddie Masters on bass and Dave Lennox on keyboards, (ex Blodwyn Pig, Ginger Baker Band). With a combination of originals and rock blues standards, the band always delivers the goods.


Adverse possession is a law which allows an owner of land to do two things (1) disallow stale claims for the ownership of the totality of the property and (2) to claim ownership of land which is beyond the titular bounds of a legal description as determined by surveyors after having conducted a retracement survey.... Adverse possession is determined by filing a quiet title action. It is very complicated and you will need to hire an attorney. For the property tax question, you will need to pay off any tax lien as that will supersede any adverse possession claim you might have.
Nonetheless, as the Court of Appeal in Reeder v Woodward, 2016 ABCA 91 (CanLII) has held, "a claim to adverse possession must be 'adverse'… if the claimant is in possession of the land with the permission or consent of the registered owner, then that possession is not 'adverse'." (at para 23, citing Reeder at para 10). how to do the nitty gritty dance Adverse possession is "a means to acquire title to land through obvious occupancy of the land, while claiming ownership for the period of years set by the law of the state where the property exists," according to the People's Law Dictionary.
The Adverse Possession Guideline 2018 – LINZG20778 also addresses adverse possession applications made pursuant to section 204 LTA in relation to estates in land for which limited certificates of title have been issued following the bringing of the land under the 1915 or 1952 Land Transfer Acts. how to create a google+ business page Adverse Possession.

• The trespasser's possession must be actual. This word appears in many statutes governing adverse possession. Some statutes require that you confirm the reality of the possession by living on the property or improving it.
Adverse possession is a legal tactic that enables an individual or organization to gain possession of privately-owned land if that individual or organization has been actively using that piece of land for over twenty-one years.


It feels like mud. Sticky, heavy, thick. I imagine it to be dark. That's how it feels. Black. Like the mysterious holes in the universe that we have only just discovered might be something more than a matter sucking abyss into nothingness.
I look normal on the outside. I can hold it together for you, or hold it as together as I think you need me to be. But when I walk away and the distractions are gone, everyone else has gone home and on with their lives, I feel like I'm back in the thick of the abyss. Moving helps but it's hard to move. I know I'm not trapped, but I feel trapped. I could run, but where to.
I dreamed the other night, I was saving myself and my son from a dangerous situation and I couldn't figure out how to open the door to get out. I saw people coming and going easily. They looked alert, alive, happy. But no one could hear me. I felt frustrated, and tried to yell, but only whispered, "I don't understand". I woke up to my own voice saying "I don't understand" and a feeling in my heart of why.
It's hard to describe this feeling because by most accounts I am blessed. The tricky part is this "mud", let's call it, covers over the good stuff most of the time. When I am alone, it comes in thick dark heavy waves. I'm learning to surrender to it. It takes too much energy to fight it. It always subsides and then returns.
Throughout my adult life I had a reason to fight it. My son, sisters, mom, husband, dad, boyfriends, my dogs. I fought it for me also because I never wanted you to know what my insides felt like. It's too hard now to pretend. I don't have the energy to pretend I'm okay.
I know it's not true, but I often feel powerless. Not all the time. When I'm teaching and speaking I feel free. When I'm at the ocean, or playing with Oliver, I feel love. When I write, paint, create in some way, I feel connected.
Previously I had a reason to hold my darkness back and out of sight. Now that no one is here to distract me, I am alone with it and I wonder if there is ever an end to it. Light comes and goes, but darkness seems to stay.
This isn't depression. It's different.
In the underworld, it is an opening to the deeper, darker, mysterious parts of my soul, where it is about learning to navigate the space and finding the strength to mine it's harsh, often brutal landscape for wisdom, insights and guidance.
This darkness isn't evil or mean. It's intense, forceful, powerful like a wave taking me under, pummeling me into its own. I know if I surrender I am more likely to survive than if I refuse or fight it. So each time I remember, I take one last deep breath and I let it take over and I remember to hold on to the one piece of light that is strong enough to pull me out anytime it's too much.
I think of my mother's smile, my son's creativity, my new nephew, sunsets and snickerdoodles, trees and the vastness of the ocean. Any one of these alone does the trick for a moment and then I'm back in the abyss.
I can pass for a surfer, but what you don't see are the weights on my ankles. I am strong, but what you don't see is how tired I feel. I am fast, but what you don't see are the scars from running the same track over and over and over.
I see the same stories and patterns play out. I feel as though I'm in a constant state of deja vu, repeating the same thing over and over, like a rat spinning its wheels thinking it's going somewhere. At some point the rat must know it's not going anyway, but surrenders to the sensation of spinning, accepting it's fate of never going anywhere.
When my mom died I felt an unimaginable grief for her. I was awash in her sadness, regret and anger. And I was sad and angry for her, about her, and about the unlived dreams she and I talked about. She was just coming into her own. She was just beginning the journey of herself. I felt infuriated about her cancer and powerless to help her. She and I shared a defiant nature and lived life our own way. But in that defiance came a weakness in thinking we could do everything alone.
My grief is not so much in her passing, as it is about not being able to save her. Not being able to save my marriage. Not being able to save my son. Not being able to help my sisters or my dad more than I have. I grieve for not going to school earlier in my life and the unlived opportunities that path would have provided and made my financial life so much easier. I grieve for the loss of the god I imagined and for my health that Lyme disease has slowly ravaged. I grieve for the relationship that didn't blossom the way I wanted, and for all the things I haven't done and how quickly time has gone by. There's still a list of things to experience and I wonder "what if I run out of time"?
I grieve for the time I don't have and the time I've wasted, and for how hard I've been on myself to prove to others that I was bad, or good or nothing at all. I grieve for the time, strength and energy Lyme disease has taken from me.
I grieve the truth that I have no idea how much time I have left and for the fact that there's nothing I can do about that. I don't understand and I grieve for my own ignorance.
I'll admit, I didn't think I'd feel this sad for so long.
There has been a lot to grieve and until now, in this clearing, I have had all the distractions a girl could ask for and so until now, I depressed my feelings so that I could be what I thought you thought of me, what I thought I should be, and what I hoped I wasn't: weak, feabile, to messy to love.
God forbid I really fell apart. So my body started to for me.
Lyme and the associated co-infections ravage my brain, my neurological system, my ability to organize and think clearly. It too comes in waves that at times feel more like brain-terrors, rather than an average nightmare. I have been secretive, hiding most of what I've been through and trying to stay steady for fear that I'll never recover. Never be the same. Never be good enough or strong enough to get through this.
I have no idea what unsightly and untimely mess this mud will make of me this time, but if the depth of the darkness is any indication of the light on the other side, then I surrender and take one last breath and let it take over until it's had its way, breaking me and polishing me like the tiny sands that fill the ocean floor.
I know that I am not my grief. I am simply grieving.
Allowing the cold, sticky mud to embrace all of me and getting to know the darkness I have inherited.

HOT IDF BABE OF THE DAY.
Isn't she a sweetie? Photo taken from the excellent site Serial No. 3817131 by photographer Rachel Papo, a former female IDF soldier herself.
But girl, I'd rather not see you toting an assault rifle like that. Call me old-fashioned, but I am against women in combat roles. Of course Israel is a case apart, and there have been times in Israels history when I wouldn't have frowned upon a pic like above. Take the 1948 War of Independence e.g.. That war was the equivalent of a fight between a newborn still wet from the womn and five kindergarten bullies. A "nation" on a handkerchief of land numbering no more than perhaps 650,000 people, give and take the population of Boise, Idaho, facing a ruthless simultaneous attack by five Arab armies. This was literally a battle for mere survival. Had the Israelis lost, the Nazi holocaust would in all likelihood have had a Middle Eastern epilogue. Miraculously, they won. And it was possible only through a rigorous mobilization including the drafting of women, of which an estimated 12,000 reportedly saw combat. A special corps was created for them, the "Chen", or "Women's Corps". However, that same war of 1948 marked until recently the only occasion whereby Israeli women actively served in the frontlines. Immediately after the cessation of hostilities in 1949, the Chen was restructurized and women were no longer allowed in combat units. Of course there has been ever since the compulsory military service, with the 1959 Defense Service Law stipulating that "all citizens and permanent residents of the State of Israel are required to perform military service..." and that "...all women between the ages of 18 and 26, who are physically fit, unmarried, have not borne children, and have not objected on religious grounds or grounds of conscience must fulfill their military obligation."
As it became clear over the years that Israel was more than capable of warding off any Arab attack, the need for extra "womanpower" was less felt, and so, with regards to the enlistment of women, the 1959 Law was often used loosely. This 1988 article, based on The Library of Congress Country Studies and the CIA Factbook, states that "...only about 50 percent of the approximately 30,000 females eligible annually were inducted. Nearly 20 percent of eligible women were exempted for "religious reasons"; nearly 10 percent because they were married; and most of the remaining 20 percent were rejected as not meeting minimum educational standards (eighth grade during the 1980s)."
The last years of the 20th century saw a shift in that attitude however. In 1999, the IDF announced that the year after women would begin serving as combat soldiers. First, in early 2000, women were deployed in artillery units, followed by infantry and armored units and elite forces. Israel's Navy, the Sea Corps, placed female sailors in its diving repair unit. As for now, the issue is still largely academic, since at the beginning of 2004, the total number of female soldiers in combat units was... 450. Personally, I may hope that this meagre number is a reflection of the realization, among the broader part of Israeli society, that women should be bringers of life, and not of death. Don't get me wrong. I think that women can play a great role in the military. Remember that any army is like a knife, that the cutting edge can only have effect when it is sustained by the mass of the blade. Logistics, medical assignments and intelligence come to mind as ideal domains for female troops. But combat roles? No way. At least not for me. And that goes for any army, not just the IDF.
What's your take on that?

ESA ALIVE AND KICKING.
Once upon a time there was a small, shy boy with far too big glasses who screwed up completely in sports, blew math and got scared shitless by females. By and large, it was books which got him through this quagmire, and one of the authors whose works he devoured was a noble French gentleman, alas long deceased. That boy was your servant, and that gentleman was Jules Gabriel Verne, the Father of Modern Science Fiction. Among the books that left the deepest impression on me were Michael Strogoff (1876), Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea (1870), Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and especially From the Earth to the Moon (1865). Recalling how fascinating - and credible - Verne's fiction still was more than a century after it was written, one wonders how the sheer novelty of these fantastic stories must have been received, and perceived, in the author's days. And what made him do it? What inspired him? After all, this son to an attorney who was born in the busy western French port of Nantes in 1828, wrote about space exploration when the first flight of an aeroplane was still a half century away. He predicted gas-powered automobiles, skyscrapers built of glass and steel, high-speed trains, helicopters and even the Internet (a worldwide "telegraphic" communications network) while very little, if anything, hinted at the advent of these technological wonders. The accuracy of his predictions sometimes reached an uncanny level, such as when NASA chose to launch its rockets from Cape Canaveral, 130 miles from the supposed building site (Tampa Town)of the Supergun in Verne's lunar voyage novel. Not to mention that the Apollo 11 capsule came down only miles from where the manned bullet landed in the book. The power of Verne's imagination reverberates through the decades, leading to the US Navy baptising its first nuclear submarine after Captain Nemo's Nautilus from Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, contemporary authors borrowing from his ideas (e.g. James Rollins in his novel Subterranean, 1999), providing inspiration for famous 20th-century explorers and scientists, like William Beebe, Admiral Byrd, Robert Goddard...
... and ESA, the European Space Agency, naming its first-ever genuine spacecraft the Jules Verne. Indeed, on March 9, 2008, a powerful Ariane V rocket lifted the 20.7 tonne ATV-001, as it has been coded (with ATV standing for Automated Transfer Vehicle), into space from ESA's launch base in Kourou, French Guyana, with a heavy payload of propellant, water, air and supplies for the ISS. To be sure, ATV's are unmanned cargo resupply spacecraft, but unlike lab modules like Columbus, which are incapable of independent movement, an ATV, once in orbit, can perform all the tasks - and more - of typical manned spacecraft. Given that it was the first of its series, the Jules Verne first underwent three weeks of testing before it began its rendezvous operations with the ISS, to which it finally docked on 3 April. The following video, albeit from the hacks over at the Biased Broadcasting Company, is well worth watching:
The ATVs, of which the development cost an estimated 1.35 billion EUR, are not only designed to supply the International Space Station (ISS). Another important feature is their ability to, if necessary, boost the station into a higher orbit. Four more have been ordered already, to be used until 2015, with an option for a further two. The small number implies that the ATV's are meant to complement, not subsitute, the existing Russian-made Progress spacecraft, of which it has three times the capacity. Like a Progress, an ATV carries both bulk liquids and relatively fragile freight, stored in a pressurized shirt sleeve environment in a cargo section so that astronauts can have access to it without having to put on a spacesuit. Docking to the ISS is done using two videometers and two telegoniometers built by Sodern, an EADS subsidiary. Additional (actually redundant) monitoring data is provided by a Russian-made antenna originaly designed for the Ukranian-built Kurs, an automatic docking system comparable to those used on the Progress ships and the Soyuz manned ferries. A camera mounted on the ISS's Zvezda module provides visual imagery.
Some more technical data about the ATV's: each one weighs 20.7 tonnes at launch, of which the cargo comprises 8 tonnes in various distribution schemes: up to 5.5 tonnes of dry goods like supplies, scientific payload etc), up to 840 kilograms (1,900 lb) of water, up to 100 kilograms (220 lb) of gas (nitrogen, oxygen, air) and up to 4.7 tonnes (10,000 lb) of propellant for re-boost manoeuvring and refueling the ISS. The propellant for re-boost is monomethylhydrazine (MMH, also used in the Space Shuttle) and N2O4 oxidizer. "Re-boost" in this context is the ATV's capacity to "push" the entire ISS to a higher orbit since its course gradually lowers because of atmospheric drag, even at such an altitude (!). Contrary to what one would generally assume, re-boosting is not really "pushing higher up" but an indirect process, by enhancing the ISS's speed. The resulting higher centrifugal force ensures that the orbital altitude enhances. Even when "getting higher up" is not immediately necessary to avoid "falling down", the feature enables the ISS to get out of the way of the orbital paths of space debris, of which there is more every year. On April 25, the Jules Verne pushed the 280-ton ISS 4.7 kilometers higher up in a re-boost maneuver that took 13 minutes. To this end the ATV accelerated the ISS's speed from 7,700 meters per second with just 2.67 meters per second... but it sufficed, and only two of the ATV's four main engines were needed. Re-boost manoeuvres have to be carried out periodically (about once a month) and until now this was done using that brave little workhorse of the Russians, the Progress. Actually a Progress M1, an update of the Progress M, which is in itself a descendant of the famous Soyuz spacecraft. Below you find a comparison between an ATV and the Apollo and Progress spaceships respectively.
And here is a magnificent pic (courtesy of Wikipedia, just like the drawing above) of the ISS. Visible "on top" is the ATV, coupled to Zvezda. Zvezda, meaning "star", was the first fully Russian ISS contribution, and an early "building block" (actually the third one, in July 2000). It houses some of the ISS's lifes support systems as well as living quarters for two crew members. Original Russian info on Zvezda here.

Southcoast Health Recognizes 2021 Volunteers of the Year
Jan 27. 2022 | By Southcoast Health
NEW BEDFORD, FALL RIVER and WAREHAM Mass. –Southcoast Health recognizes Laura Lopes, Laura Medeiros, Sandi Montour, and Jacqueline Swanson as Southcoast Health 2021 Volunteers of the Year from Tobey Hospital, Charlton Memorial Hospital, St. Luke's Hospital, and the Southcoast Health Visiting Nurse Association, respectively. Each year, volunteers of all ages donate their time to serve ill community members at Southcoast Health's three hospitals, and through Southcoast VNA.
"Southcoast Health is thrilled to honor Laura, Laura, Sandi, and Jacqueline as our 2021 Volunteers of the Year," says Kimberley Coon, the Executive Director of Hospital and Medical Staff Services. "We thank them—and the rest of our dedicated volunteers—for their unwavering service to our health system and region."
Laura Lopes, 2021 Volunteer of the Year at Tobey Hospital:
Laura worked for 32 and a half years as a registered nurse at Tobey. Nearly two years into retirement, she realized she missed her Tobey family and was not ready to put aside her passion for nursing. Her dedication to her patients, colleagues, and student nurses motivated her to apply to serve as a patient representative, so she could continue pursuing her passion for helping others. Laura takes pride in being a familiar face to comfort patients and their family members, answering questions and addressing any concerns they have.
Laura Medeiros, 2021 Volunteer of the Year for Charlton Memorial Hospital:
Laura began volunteering five years ago, after her husband lost his battle to Alzheimer's. Her daughter in-law, an employee at Southcoast Health, suggested Laura cope with her loss through volunteer-work at Charlton, which has played an important role in her healing process. She is an active presence and friendly face in Charlton's gift shop, where she loves helping staff, visitors, and patients. Laura is especially passionate about using her translation services to make the gift shop more welcoming for visitors who speak Portuguese.
Sandi Montour, 2021 Volunteer of the Year for St. Luke's Hospital:
Sandi began volunteering at Southcoast Health nine years ago with the VNA and has been volunteering in the St. Luke's Emergency Department since 2016. "Although the Emergency Department can be very hectic with some tough and sad situations, and even when I've not had a great day at work or otherwise, when I volunteer in the Emergency Department and interact with our patients and families, everything else melts away," says Sandi. "Each volunteer shift at the Emergency Department, I know they'll be multiple opportunities to make someone smile or make someone feel comforted. It's a joyful and meaningful experience to serve our community alongside the Southcoast Health professionals. There are many opportunities to volunteer with Southcoast Health; there's something for everyone."
Jacqueline Swanson, 2021 Volunteer of the Year for the Visiting Nurse Association:
When her father was receiving hospice care from Southcoast, Jaqueline promised herself she would give back in appreciation for the exceptional skill and kindness he received. Jacqueline has remained true to this promise, brightening patients' days by visiting them in their homes or nursing homes and—more recently—lightening the VNA's administrative load by assisting with clerical work.
Volunteers are a deeply valued part of the Southcoast Health team and an essential resource to our region. Southcoast Health is deeply grateful to all those who volunteer their time on behalf of our health system and patients.

Q: Orthogonal Recursive Bisection in Chapel (Barnes-Hut algorithm) I'm implementing a distributed version of the Barnes-Hut n-body simulation in Chapel. I've already implemented the sequential and shared memory versions which are available on my GitHub.
I'm following the algorithm outlined here (Chapter 7):

*

*Perform orthogonal recursive bisection and distribute bodies so that each process has equal amount of work

*Construct locally essential tree on each process

*Compute forces and advance bodies

I have a pretty good idea on how to implement the algorithm in C/MPI using MPI_Allreduce for bisection and simple message passing for communication between processes (for body transfer). And also MPI_Comm_split is a very handy function that allows me to split the processes at each step of ORB.
I'm having some trouble performing ORB using parallel/distributed constructs that Chapel provides. I would need some way to sum (reduce) work across processes (locales in Chapel), splitting processes into groups and process-to-process communication to transfer bodies.
I would be grateful for any advice on how to implement this in Chapel. If another approach would be better for Chapel that would also be great.

A: After a lot of deadlocks and crashes I did manage to implement the algorithm in Chapel. It can be found here: https://github.com/novoselrok/parallel-algorithms/tree/75312981c4514b964d5efc59a45e5eb1b8bc41a6/nbody-bh/dm-chapel
I was not able to use much of the fancy parallel equipment Chapel provides. I relied only on block distributed arrays with sync elements. I also replicated the SPMD model.
In main.chpl I set up all of the necessary arrays that will be used to transfer data. Each array has a corresponding sync array used for synchronization. Then each worker is started with its share of bodies and the previously mentioned arrays. Worker.chpl contains the bulk of the algorithm.
I replaced the MPI_Comm_split functionality with a custom function determineGroupPartners where I do the same thing manually. As for the MPI_Allreduce I found a nice little pattern I could use everywhere:
var localeSpace = {0..#numLocales};
var localeDomain = localeSpace dmapped Block(boundingBox=localeSpace);

var arr: [localeDomain] SomeType;
var arr$: [localeDomain] sync int; // stores the ranks of inteded receivers
var rank = here.id;

for i in 0..#numLocales-1 {
    var intendedReceiver = (rank + i + 1) % numLocales;
    var partner = ((rank - (i + 1)) + numLocales) % numLocales;

    // Wait until the previous value is read
    if (arr$[rank].isFull) {
        arr$[rank];
    }

    // Store my value
    arr[rank] = valueIWantToSend;
    arr$[rank] = intendedReceiver;

    // Am I the intended receiver?
    while (arr$[partner].readFF() != rank) {}

    // Read partner value
    var partnerValue = arr[partner];

    // Do something with partner value

    arr$[partner]; // empty

    // Reset write, which blocks until arr$[rank] is empty
    arr$[rank] = -1;
}

This is a somewhat complicated way of implementing FIFO channels (see Julia RemoteChannel, where I got the inspiration for this "pattern").
Overview:

*

*First each locale calculates its intended receiver and its partner (where the locale will read a value from)

*Locale checks if the previous value was read

*Locales stores a new value and "locks" the value by setting the arr$[rank] with the intended receiver

*Locale waits while its partner sets the value and sets the appropriate intended receiver

*Once the locale is the intended receiver it reads the partner value and does some operation on it

*Then locale empties/unlocks the value by reading arr$[partner]

*Finally it resets its arr$[rank] by writing -1. This way we also ensure that the value set by locale was read by the intended receiver
I realize that this might be an overly complicated solution for this problem. There probably exists a better algorithm that would fit Chapels global view of parallel computation. The algorithm I implemented lends itself to the SPMD model of computation.
That being said, I think that Chapel still does a good job performance-wise. Here are the performance benchmarks against Julia and C/MPI. As the number of processes grows the performance improves by quite a lot. I didn't have a chance to run the benchmark on a cluster with >4 nodes, but I think Chapel will end up with respectable benchmarks.


A Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) allows you to be reimbursed on a pre-tax basis for child care or adult dependent care expenses for qualified dependents that are necessary to allow you or your spouse to work, look for work, or attend school full-time. However, if you did not find a job and have no earned income for the year, your dependent care costs are not eligible. For more information, refer to the following question. It can be used to reimburse you with pre-tax dollars if the expenses for dependents meet the IRS definition of dependent for income tax purposes. An adult (e.g., parent, grandparent, adult disabled child) may qualify as a dependent if the employee is providing more than half of that person's maintenance for the year.
Your tax-dependent of any age (including, but not limited to, your parents and parents-in-laws), or your spouse who is mentally or physically incapable of caring for himself or herself.
You must have incurred the expenses in order for you and your spouse to work, look for work (as long as you found a job and have earned income), attend school full-time or was physically or mentally incapable of self-care.
Your filing status must be single, qualifying widow(er) with a dependent child, married filing jointly, or married filing separately.
The care must have been provided for one or more qualifying persons identified on the form you use to claim the credit.
You (and, if you're married, your spouse) must maintain a home that you live in for more than half of the year with your qualifying child or dependent.
Your child must have been under age 13 when care was provided and you must be able to claim the child as an exemption on your tax return. (For an exception to this rule, see "Child of Divorced or Separated Parents" in IRS Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses.) A spouse who is mentally or physically unable to care for himself or herself also qualifies. A dependent of any age (e.g., a parent) who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care also qualifies if he or she can be claimed as an exemption on your tax return (or could have been claimed, except for the fact that he or she had $3,050 or more of gross income).

A boarverine is a cross between a boar and a wolverine. It has the hind legs and tusks of the boar, but is otherwise wolverine in appearance.
Boarverines are extremely territorial, and will savagely attack any creature so entering its territory (regardless of its size).
Ferocity (Ex): boarverines continue to attack without penalty even when dying or disabled.
Rage (Ex): If the boarverines takes damage in combat, it flies into a rage. In rage, it gains +4 strength, +4 constitution, -2 AC. It stays in rage until either it or its opponents are dead.


Whether your goal is to inform, connect, engage or sell, your website needs to convert visitors into users to be successful. So, how do you get more conversions from your site visitors? The answer isn't as straight forward as change this to that, or remove this add that, but here are some elements to review on your site and possibly tweak, change or add to increase your conversion rate.
Depending on your site goals your conversion rate may be to checkout and purchase a product, enter contact information in order to download white papers, or even just create a login or account. First determine what the goal of your site is and what a conversion means to you. The take the number of visitors and divide that by the number of conversions and this equals your conversion rate. Some people use the total number of visitors including new and returning visits, others use only unique visitors, it doesn't matter which you prefer to use, what does matter is that you use the same number every time you calculate your conversion rate.
The most basic way to define how to increase your conversion rate is to diagnose, hypothesize and test your user actions. If you can determine why visitors don't convert into users here are some areas you should examine, or better yet ask an honest friend to examine and give you feedback on. The goal is to give visitors a proposed value for converting to users on your site and to use urgency as a reason for them to convert now rather than later.
Is your Call-to-Action clear? Is it dominant? And most importantly, does it provoke a response? This does not mean to make your call-to-action red, huge and at the top of the site, but rather to make sure that it is large enough to read, and consistent with your industry. It should create a sense of urgency, and there should be no guessing done by the user to interpret what response needs to happen.
Are your graphics relevant? Are they high quality? Does the volume reinforce the written content on the page or distract from it? Your graphics should be visual aides for your site, not your entire site. While people are more likely to look at a picture than they are to read words, this just means that they have to be powerful enough to catch attention. A common mistake is using too many graphics and not enough verbiage for the people that you create interest with.
Can your website be easily used? Can a user find the information they are looking for? Does it work on any device? An ecommerce site should always have products cross categorized to ensure that they are easily found, for information sites it's about breadcrumbs to ensure that users can find their way back without having to go back to start. Today, with more and more interactions happening on mobile phones and portable devices it needs to be as easy to use on these than on a desktop computer. The most important areas of your site that should be easily accessible from any page or area are the navigation, registration, contact and payment areas.
Is your website relevant? If your site isn't relevant for the keywords, terms, titles, and meta tags you are using, then visitors might be mislead when finding your website. These visitors will ultimately negatively effect your conversion rate, and your search engine rankings. Don't stuff keywords or terms for the sake of ranking higher, it won't help you in the long run.
